Official Valverde thread.

[therealthing]

Sickening.

 

[Hayabusa]

Hopefully Bardet gets the title in a few months. Valverde continuing to be allowed to blatantly cheat is disgusting.

 

[rick james]

lol

 

[glassmoon]

Disgraceful. Hopefully this will get restored in the future.

 

[Stella0596]

Yeah, not a good day

Bot Sky Bot and El Pistero would both be spitting fire right now

 

[Savant12]

Cycling is getting cleaner, ha!

 

[burning]

Well, this was a textbook Valverde win, I don't know what is that different compared to his other wins in his career.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Disaster.

It's not different from any of his other wins, which is the problem. As he's doped in every one of them.

 

[Forever The Best]

To all the Sky fans whining here, Valverde never tested positive. :lol:

In before people accuse me of saying Valverde is clean, no he isn't. He is obviously doping.

yes.

 

[Bolder]

Was it not nearly as remarkable to see Dumoulin drag himself up that hill and back to the top 3 after nearly winning 2 GTs this year and racing TTT and ITT this week? Yeah, I am no fan of Valverde b/c I think he's as dirty as anyone can be, but then again, who am I to say that he's "worse," either?

 

[Bot. Sky_Bot]

Fuc..ing bloody bag doper. What a shame!

 

[Puckfiend]

Fitting that all next year Valverde will be rocking those rainbow stripes, rubbing the UCI's nose in it.

 

[Stella0596]

After Sagan has avoided the curse for three years, it could hit again next year? Wishfull thinking

 

[Puckfiend]

Why all the butt hurt? Valverde has never failed a test. Just like our British heroes.

Simon Yates and Froome actually do have failed tests, but they had top tier lawyers behind them to bs their way out, lol.

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Oh wow, Alejandro, seriously?

 

[El Pistolero]

Re:

Yes, he has, intent to dope is treated the same as a positive. His DNA was linked to blood bags with EPO and other stuff in it.

Don't play dumb.

 

[Jancouver]

This old dirty dog just won't go away huh?

Heck, I don't wish anybody anything bad, but it would definitely make me happy if he would get busted again.

Wishful thinking ... this cheat got it down.

Now let's talk about the long-term benefits of EPO usage, shall we?

 

[DanielSong39]

Oh, he so deserves to have his thread bumped.

But let's face it, if you don't use, you lose.

Has there ever been a single study suggesting that there is any benefit long term?

Genuine question btw. I mean you would assume the greater training volume enabled would count for something. But maybe it could also be the opposite - and that coming off EPO makes you worse than before - because your body has become too reliant on it. Would be cool to see a study which suggests long term benefits or negative consequences.

Gee, I seem to remember something about somebody having an astronomical amount of salbutamol in their system. Can't remember who though..............

Mod hat on:

A gentle reminder that this is the Valverde thread.
